Mungo Monkey has woken up very early . . . because today is his BIRTHDAY!


There are so many things to do before Mungo's birthday party starts: balloons to blow up, party hats to make and a cake to bake. Mungo needs to pick his fancy dress costume, too. What will he choose? Lift the flaps and join in the party preparations with Mungo, his friends and his favourite toy Narnie.


Mungo Monkey comes from the genius of Lydia Monks, award-winning illustrator whose collaborations include What the Ladybird Heard and The Princess and the Wizard with Julia Donaldson and the `Indie Kidd' series with Karen McCombie. Mungo Monkey's beautiful illustrations with flaps to lift on every page make for an interactive reading experience that is perfect for children aged 3 and up.


Lydia Monks has created a world full of vibrant and colourful characters that little ones will want to revisit again and again!
